= Summary =

'''Celebrating the release:'''
 * Fedora's KDE4 got mentioned in a Distrowatch Feature. [2]
 * There were some reports that spell-checking in kate is broken.

'''dropping Phonon "ALSA default device" hack?''':
 * In the past we used a hack [3] to force Phonon to use Alsa by default if 
native PulseAudio support was broken.
 * Since xine-lib-pulseaudio is more reliable the hack will be dropped.

'''qt4 bindir''':
 * the use of %{_bindir} as %{_qt4_bindir} was reverted because it 
causes/fixes some bugs: #446167 and #422291.
 * Instead of this the following solution will be used:
  * keep %{_qt4_bindir} and %{_bindir} separate.
  * move the executables to %{_bindir}.
  * keep %{_qt4_bindir} as a directory and use symlinks from there 
to %{_bindir} (or wrapper scripts if that works better).
 * This allows us to keep only qmake-qt4 in %{_bindir} and both qmake and 
qmake-qt4 in %{_qt4_bindir} for F8 and possibly F9, and only have 
a %{_bindir}/qmake in qt 4 in F10+.

'''status of kpackagekit''':
 * RichardHughes mentioned a KDE frontend for PackageKit in his blog. [4]
 * LukasTinkl will have a closer look at kpackagekit.

'''iclock applet (International Clock applet for Qt4/KDE4)''':
 * LukasTinkl created a clock applet fot Qt4/KDE4 and asked for feedback. [5]
 * He will also submit a package for review to include this in F10.

'''Planning for F10''':
 * KDE's core components in Rawhide are now at 4.0.72 (4.1 alpha1 + 1 week).
 * kdepim needs work.
 * libopensync-plugin-kdepim needs to be upgraded to a development snapshot.
 * basket also needs to be upgraded to a KDE4 based snapshot (or basket 
support in kdepim needs to be disabled).
 * kdevelop: needs kdevplatform packaged and reviewed.
 * kde-l10n: kdepim and kdevelop will be handled first before the translations 
from kde-i18n will be switched to kde-l10n.
 * kdewebdev will stay at kde-3.5 because Quanta won't be ready for KDE 4.1.
 * RexDieter started to work on koffice-2.
